Solaris17 · Aug 22, 2008, 02:51 PM

screen shot of a part of the movie? or info on the game on the DL page.

AsRock · Aug 22, 2008, 02:52 PM

Works fine for me at any speed as long as speed is selected before starting it all though this only happens on the US server the EU server seems to be better even if speed is changed while playing.

Other wise great bigger than youtube which is nice

..

W1zzard · Aug 22, 2008, 03:35 PM

you cant change speed on the fly while playing. it should stop the movie, load the new url and you have to click play

DaMulta · Aug 22, 2008, 03:37 PM

I'm glad you used the good flash movie program.

Works very well.

alexp999 · Aug 22, 2008, 03:39 PM

Can you do a different volume control? Those are really small and hard to use. Something with a slider link on youtube would be better. This one you have to try and click just in the right place, instead of being able to adjust the volume on the fly with a slider so you can get it just right.

Also the top link isnt streaming very well, stuttering every 5 secs or so to re-buffer. even tho I'm on 10mb broadband.

Aug 22, 2008, 03:43 PM

Looks good , although the player looks a bit small .

Hope the TPU servers have enough space for all the videos that will be posted .

btarunr · Aug 22, 2008, 03:44 PM

The player is good. How about a discussion section like we have news comments?

Triprift · Aug 22, 2008, 03:46 PM

Coudnt get it run for me assuming cus of me being in Oz no probs with dl's tho a local mirror maybe?

alexp999 · Aug 22, 2008, 03:46 PM

Streaming seems to be okay now. Must have just been busy. Full screen mode looks good and scales well but stutters?

, the normal size window is fine though. Just needs a volume slider

Triprift · Aug 22, 2008, 03:50 PM

Just tried again and same result bugga :/

couldnt find any hosting companies that have affordable bandwidth (5 TB+) in .au

W1zzard · Aug 22, 2008, 04:28 PM

triprift: can you describe "does not run" a bit more?

alexp999: check if switching the player to low detail in full screen helps

Triprift · Aug 22, 2008, 04:35 PM

Clicked on the view video now link clicked play on the player waited for like 5 minutes to start and nothing happened just the circle in the middle with what i assumed was loading W1zz.

Frederik S · Aug 22, 2008, 04:58 PM

Works great here. Even at high bitrates.

W1zzard · Aug 22, 2008, 05:06 PM

triprift you have the latest flash version that has h.264 support?

Aug 22, 2008, 05:13 PM

How much did you pay for all this Wizz ?

W1zzard · Aug 22, 2008, 05:14 PM

nothing. it uses the existing infrastructure from our downloads servers

Do these guys provide Hard Drive Space and Bandwidth on their servers for free ?

Whats the total Hard Disk Space like for TPU ?

W1zzard · Aug 22, 2008, 05:18 PM

no nothing is for free .. all dl servers combined cost like 1500 usd per month

tpu web stuff itself uses like 50 gigs tops. the downloads are another 120 gb or so extra. thats hdd space .. traffic wise we are going through about 50T++ per month with downloads and everything included

tigger · Aug 22, 2008, 05:19 PM

Works fine for me,ie7,eu and 1.5mbit selections.

yes it does stop it each time. but at the time at least EU servers seemed to deal with the changing better.

Like some other said the volume is all though it did not bother me. Good Job

WOW

, you must have a real good job (judging from your awesome coding ability) to pay that much every month or you must be making a lot from TPU .
